Getting command prompt result into textbox

[kimiraikkonen]

Hello,
I have a textbox named "textbox1" and a button named "button1"

How can i retrieve the console (cmd) data into textbox?

For example when i run Shell("cmd.exe /k dir c:\",AppWinStyle.Hide)
when pressed button1, i want the result is displayed into textbox.

Thanks

Set it as parameters in your constructor and use the values.

instead of using shell use the process class

then

p.Start
dim reader as streamreader = p.standardoutput
p.waitforexit
messagebox.show(reader.readtoend)

Could you define more?

I'm newbie. When i use system.process.diagnostics.start("cmd.exe /k
dir c:"), i get "cannot find specified file" error while debuggin. If
i use Shell("cmd.exe /k dir c:\",AppWinStyle.Hide), no problems for
running, but i cannot get the results as texts into my textbox.
